Fake Your Own .Mac Server

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the isn't-that-useful dept.

c13v3rm0nk3y writes "A clever fellow named Otto Moerbeek has publish a short article on getting an OpenBSD box to emulate a .Mac server. Using Apache/DAV/SSL and a roll a duct-tape, he describes how you can get most .Mac functionality without paying Apple for it." This is useful because then you can use apple's backup tools to backup to a local server, and not have to backup over your piddly internet connection.

    It'll cost you a little bit more, but I can get you a class A. I think 10.0.0.0 is still available, if you hurry. The networks in 169.254.0.0 are available at a substantial discount for those on a budget.
